Bicycle shop for folding bikes

HI,

I am new resident in Sengkang and saw many cyclists here.

Looking at buying my first folding bicycle. Carrefour sells the Aleoca brand for about $100 - $300.

Can anyone advise me if these Aleoca are ok priced fgor their quality, or are there better buy elsewhere? If so, can give me some name of the shop I should check out.

Thanks

For folding bikes, you may want to check out brands like Dahon. I own an MU SL and I have been liking it . They do have cheaper ones in the hundreds but not compromising on the quality, in my opinions. Hope that helps.

My friend is looking to buy a MTB.

Budget : Up to $3,500 (if full XT parts). (of course, the cheaper the better). If possible, not more than $2,500.

Requirement : as light as possible. At least full SLX parts (if got some XT parts, better). Non-carbon frame.

He is 45 but reasonably fit, thinking of starting to ride casually on East Coast Park and sometimes can go Pulau Ubin off road. Not going to jump and land hard.

So I guess a Cross Country MTB is more suitable for him than a All Mountain MTB.

For the last week, went around to Khian Hong @Vertex, Tay Cycle, Rodalink (Tradehub) and L&T to take a look at the bikes.

The following bikes are in consideration :

1) Polygon Collosus SX3.0 ($3100) (XT parts) - X-Country full suspension.

2) Polygon Collosus SX2.0 ($1,900) (only some SLX parts) - X-country full susp.

3) Polygon Collosus AX3.0 ($3,500) (some SLX and Deore parts = not favoured) - All mountain full susp.

4) Polygon Cozmic CX5.0 ($1,700) (only some SLX parts = not favoured).- X-Country Hardtail

Saw some KTM bikes at L&T, many Giant bikes at Tay Cycle and many Scotts bikes at Khian Hong but didn't take note of which specific bikes to consider.

Any specific models recommendation for us to consider? KTM? Giant? Scotts? and other brands?
